Just wandering, with regards the London + Birmingham riots, what the news coverage is in other countries? For example has it even made the news in the USA and if so, what are they saying?

I'm just curious and would like to know. Thanks. 

Nothing is happening. Its all a myth...

In the US we are mostly getting just loops of slightly older news, I had to stream one of your radio stations to get actual live coverage and not the same story over and over and over while they do more research.

They have a point. It's just mindless violence.

its all a lie, nothing is happening its a ploy to stop the olympics because we have no money

How can we have no money when we have sold all the olympics to the coperate sponsors? I mean McDonalds is the official food sponsor....

BBC News Channel has the updates

I dont think USA will care much about some piss riot. We are dealing with bs on our own end the downgrade from AAA to AA+, the Dow falling 643 points,

Obama being a dumb ass, and everything else under the sun

In Australia, the news is making it sound like a revolution is going on. But Aussie news does that.

ANARCHY RULES!!! It started of as a revoulution and has now turned into fucking stupidty. The guy that was shot, by police, in Tottenham was robbing the place when the police shot him. They said he shot at them first but know theres rumors that he never fired a shot and the police were the first to shoot. Fuck this shit, i say ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!

Said on the news that they got another 10k police

Yes, well, I would hate to see  'police brulatity' or anything like that, but, still the rioters and looters need to be taught a lesson, so maybe the odd water cannon is needed.

What? I would freak out if I was the police.

Sumbags is all they are. Seen a lad on the news who was dazed after getting hit in the head and people robbed him.

Give it a watch. Manchester Police at their best.

Personally, I hope the police beat the living fuck out of every single one of the people looting and destroying.

Wanna act like a fucking idiot you should get beat like one. There's no justification for destroying shit that people actually WORKED to build and then robbing them blind.

I agree completely with BobtTheAstronut.

Steven Haper, (Prime Minster of Canada) had questions about it and the current meltdown and tires to avoid to answer them. But i was on the new, someone carried away a lcd tv haha. Send on the army already.

Top Gear should sponser the Olympics.....all the riots would stop.
